You should NEVER eat or drink anything in a lab area. You never know what chemicals or gases are in the lab, and they can harm you.
Wearing a drawstring hoodie won't protect you from chemicals.
Don't wait to clean up chemicals, immediately get a teacher and clean it up (follow the teachers instructions). You never know what has spilled, and if it is harmful or not, or if there is a certain procedure to clean it up.
Don't change the equipment in the middle of an experiment. This can tamper with your results, and depending on what you are working with, this can be dangerous.
